Not a request for recs, I swear.

terrio and I were talking last night about the tragedy that is fanon!Rodney McKay's childhood--rivalled, she pointed out, only by fanon!John Sheppard's.

Oh, I don't know, I said. Fanon!Daniel Jackson and fanon!Xander Harris could give both of them a run for their money.

Hmmm, I said a little later. Surely there is a way to determine ~empirically~ who fandom has bestowed with the most horrible fanon!childhood! How about a poll?

But I can't do an ~authoritative~ poll until I have had some help coming up with contestants, so, fandom, tell me: who has the worst fanon!childhood?

To be clear: this is neither about who has had, say, for instance, a canonical childhood bad enough to turn him into a canonical serial killer, Dexter, nor about the fact that one time you read this one story where it turned out that the Kents belonged to a Satanic cult that tortured young Clark over and over and he developed multiple personalities in response so that while Clark/Superman is totally well-adjusted after an idyllic Kansas childhood, Kal-El is a time bomb of psychotic rage.

Uh, not that that story exists. As far as I know.

Anyway: I'm looking for the general trend of fanonical horrible childhoods, not canon or outlying crackfic/evil mirrorverse, is what I am saying. Help?

GREG GRUNBERG COULD NEVER MOLEST ANYONE.

.....

on second thought, why isn't there a Britney Spears ballad and lots of emo external source visualizing this fanon assessment?

Because you haven't vidded it yet, clearly!

[kuwdora]

noo, you can't do that to me. because you see, I am still over here, glorifying the dumbass crack of Heroes. because Peter nailed Sylar.

LITERALLY.

in case you missed my epic squee:





best. birthday. ever. for me.


clearly I do not have time or brainspace to be illustrating reboot Kirk's mainpain in vid-form. cause I also have a festivid that I'm working on, too.

also. Peter nailed Sylar. Also in the balls or leg (it was offscreen but he screamed and omg *comes undone in this comment*)

My vid suggestion is FREE TO A GOOD HOME. Fandom already knows that Britney Spears is the only music that fully expresses the emoangst symphony in Jim's heart and soul.

Heeeee, yay Peter nailing Sylar! I think I did click your cut tag when you first posted about it, but, ahem, words failed me. :)

It's true, though, Britney is the soundtrack of reboot!Jim's soul.
